Thanks for Nothing, Nick Maxwell

I bought this book based on the front and back cover (I know, totally ignoring that old saying). To my pleasent surprise, it was a good story and I think I got through it in about 2 days. I particularly appreciated how it didn't try too hard to be mysterious or action-packed, it was realistic enough to be able to believable but not in a boring way. The writing style was unique, it's a first-person narrative but looking back on past events, with a pause button and zoom-in features - like she was watching the movie of her life with us, as the other reviewer said. I did have a couple of qualms with the book; 1st being that the supposedly slim Rachel could be 6 months pregnant and only look like she'd put on a little bit of weight, and, 2nd, that the name she gives to her baby at the end seemed to be a bit random, no family ties or foreshadowing that I picked up. Other than that, I actually thoroughly enjoyed reading it; Rachel may not be the perfect woman but she was certainly interesting to follow around, and her character was fleshed out and believable (if a little irritating with her speed with which she clued in on things, but that was in character for her). Over all, I liked it, I might read it again over the summer, and I reccommend it to fans of single-girl chicklit
